what the???

I was so apprehensive about going to WI today. I totally went overboard last Sunday. I ate a lot on Thanksgiving. But I was really restrictive with myself the rest of the week. Yesterday I drank a TON of water...even last night I was guzzling the stuff.

This morning at WI? I was down 1.6 for the week. I should have posted a warning that if you gained this week you may not want to read on because you might be pissed. I honestly don't know how that happened.

But I am thankful!!! So the receptionist told me to add another daily point. That brings me to 28 daily points plus my 35 WPA. That is a lot. I think I need to change my mindset in some ways, too. I am always concerned about going over so I stick to low point foods. Maybe it's OK to indulge a little more? Hot damn is all I have to say to that!

I know for me there will be a fine line between indulging a little and bingeing. But like maybe I could have a whole sandwhich now instead of just a half? And maybe the next time we have burritos I can eat the plain old flour tortilla with beans and regular cheese and regular sour cream? OK, maybe a whole wheat tortilla with regular dairy?

After all the changes I've made in the past year, it does seem really strange to let some of that go. But I will just continue to watch the scale and follow that as my lead.

Wow! Congrats on the loss! Soemtimes you see one when you least expect it!Sounds lik eyou had a great Thanksgiving and you were able to enjoy the Holiday without going crazy and eating everything in sight!Good luck maintaining!

It's so funny how there is such a fine line between too much, and not enough, it's amazing, and I'm sure it will take you a couple months to get a handle on it, but it sounds to me like you are getting a good handle on it!

I haven't forgotten about your protein powder, I've just been swamped, I will mail it soon :)

I know exactly how you feel. I hit my goal weight about 6 months ago and I'm still tweaking things here and there. The good news is that I've been within a 2.5/3.0 lb. range the whole time, the bad news is that it can swing as much as a pound and a half in either direction for no apparent reason! But I'm not complaining. Not at all. I guess I just have to realize that no matter what, it will never make sense completely.
